brakence is back, and he's gearing up for a full-length. The Columbus digicore maverick announced his new album marrow on Tuesday, dropping it three weeks from now. This follows last week's lead single, and today he hands us two more cuts: "crystallized" and "death roll."
It's a fast, generous rollout. For anyone who fell hard for hypochondriac back in 2022, the one with "deepfake" and "5g," this feels like the next evolution of that glitchy, confessional sound. The guy has always treated genre as a suggestion, bending emo, hyperpop, and electronic into something restless.
"crystallized" and "death roll" give us a taste of where his head is at now. The titles alone hint at something raw and skeletal, fitting for a record called marrow. Three weeks is nothing. The momentum is real.
brakence has never made anything safe, and these two tracks keep that streak alive. Mark the date. marrow could be his biggest moment yet.
